Special to The Franklin Time* Washington, June X. ? Presi dent Roosevelt was anxious to have Congress adjourn before the . 15th, because that was the date ' (or the payment of .another In stalment on the European war debts, and he knew they were not going to be paid In appreciable amount. He didn't Wjat Sena tors getting up and saying un kind things about Europe Just at a time when the World Mone tary and Economic Conference Was meeting in London and we were trying to get on friendly terms with the rest of the world. And the reason some Senators did their beet to hold Congress in session was just to give them selves an opportunity to let looee a lot of anti-foreign fireworks about' the debts. But when the date came, and the debt instalments weren't paid ?England paid 10 per cent, France and Italy nothing, Csecho slovakla and Greece and a few others also 10 per cent and Fin land alone paid what was due In fuAl ? there wasn't any occasion for fireworks. The President ac cepted what was offered as pay ment on account, sent a sharp re buke to France, which Is two In stalments behind, and committed the nation to nothing except what he has said before, that we shall always be glad to listen to any nation which wants to tell us why it can't pay. New Deal Ooee Into Action What this extra session did was more than any previous peace Congress has ever done In* its whole life, however. And now that Congress has passed the bur den to the Administration, the New Deal Is beginning to get In to action. Under the new Farm Relief act the Secretary of Agriculture has announced that the reduction of wheat acreage is beginning to be put into effect and that $150, 000,000 will be distributed among wheat growers this year, to com pensate them tor wheat not pro duced. This amount will be rais ed by a processing tax of 30 cents a bushel levied on the millers, who will not be permitted to pay less than the marfcet price .for. WBeat." TEey will add the pro cessing tax to the price of flour, which l! calculated to add about 1-2 cent to the consumer's cost of a pound loaf of bread. Cotton in the fields is to -4>e destroyed, probably as much as 26 per cent of the 1933 crop, and growers compensated out of the proceeds of a processing tax of! 4 cents a pound laid on spinners.' who are to tack It on to the price of cotton goods. Federal Home Loans The Federal Home Loan Sank Board has been set up under the: direction of William E. Steven-! son. It anyone owning a home has a mortgage on it he can re finance that mortgage under proper conditions with Govern ment funds, up to 80 per cent of the appraised value, if the mort ? gagor will accept 4% Government bonds for his money. A market will be maintained for the bonds if anyone needs to convert them' into cash. Mortgagees will have to pay nothing on the principal of such loans for three years, then pay them off in 15 annual Instalments at 6%. If the dis tressed mortgagee needs cash for back taxes or repairs the Govern ment will lend cash for both pur-; poses. Contracts are being prepared now for the spending of the 93, 300,000,000 appropriated for pub lic works. Four hundred million dollars of Federal roads con struction is to start at once, as well as the building of all the' naval craft which we are allowed under our treaties, amojint to another 1200,000,000. The Ad ministration proposes to get the entire 13,300,000,000 of adUI 1 tlonal money into circulation as speedily as possible. industry to lunne Under the Industrial Recovery Act all Industrial concerns In the Nation are now organising them selves, with Government aid, in to trade associations (or the adop tion of standard codes of practice, hoars of labor and minimum wage scales, In order to get fac tories going at once. Any indus try that won't play can be forced to come in under the rules ap * proved by the majority and the government. The expectation of Washington Is that a million men a month will be put back at work, beginning now. Under Joseph B. Eastman, for merly Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission and now Federal Coordinator of Railroads, the task of reorganising the rail roads Into regional systems, and In general trying to make them more efficient, has been started. One of the first things the rail roads did was to announce anoth er pay c?t, making a total reduc tion, effective next November, of IS 1-1 per cent In railroad wages. The only "Inflation" thus tar in effect is the acceptance of sil ver at 40 cents an ounce In pay ment ot foreign debts to the United States. Bach 50-cent ounce of silver will make about |1.1* In silver dollars, which wiM Vtf ? I Photo Win* Screen Test Mrs. F B.

But unless the, agreements arrived at in London result in putting the currencies of the rest of the world up to where they. were, with relation to the dollar, at the close of the war, then some real inflationary measures will be adopted to make dollars cheaper and prices high er. Expenses Going Down Government economy plans are working out. The general 15 per cent cut in Federal salaries be gins' July 1. Great numbers of men in the Army are being weed ed out. Plans for the consolida tion of bureaus have been com pleted. The President made his veterans' pay cut stick, in spite of Congressional efforts to override him, although some of the sche dules originally announced were Increased, in- the case of men ac tually- disabled In war service. Republican votes saved the Glass-Steagall bank bill, with its deposit insurance feature, at the last minute. . Republican votes helped put a 'lot of the Roosevelt program through- In fact, the only issue on which the Republi cans in Congress voted solidly as a unit was Veterans Relief. Gets Car Free Chicago, 111., June 27. ? To an eight-year-old Polish lass whose father works part time as a jani tor went, scot free, the first car built on the assembly line operat ed by the Chevrolet Motor Com pany on "A Century of Progress" grounds. The car was a gift of Chevrolet, whose president, W. 8. Knudsen, insisted that the first automobile off the line be given ? rather than to a personage of national or lo cal prominence ? to some Chicago school child In or below the eighth grade requiring the entry of their name, address and school affiliation were distributed to eli gible pupils Just prior to the close of schools for the season. From the filled in blanks a five-year old Winnebago Indian in full ro galla, off a Fair grounds reserva tion, drew the winning name in the presence of Vincent Lopex, orchestra leader as principal Judge, and Chevrolet and Gener al Motors officials. Out came the name of Miss Dorothy M. Macie jewska, of 282S West 39th Place, Chicago, who now knows the thrill of falling hefr to an unex pected fortune. No member of her family has ever owned a car. A 24-year-old brother unable to get work for some time past will serve as her chauffer. Scouts located the winner late that night and checked her eli gibility through the parish priest. Early the next morning, accom panied by the priest and two young companions who have been promised their first ride with her, Dorothy was at the General Mo tors building to inspect her new property ? a Master Six coach In black Dnco finish. The car was to be formally delivered to her this week. It- was the first of nearly 100 Chevrolet* already built on the Fair Orounds since the line got into production shortly before the opening of the exposition.

Italian Air Fleet To Visit Chicago It la difficult to appreciate the treipendous amount of prepara tory work which wa s undertaken by the Italian Air Ministry In preparing for It* gigantic squad ron flight of 24 seaplanes from Rome to Chicago. Not since the world flight of the U. S. Army Air Corp* In 1924 has there been so great a project undertaken by any aviation organisation, and the thoroughness which has char acterized General Balbo's plane has required over a year's time. The problems Involved In plan ning for the flight of a single air plane over remote parts of the earth are trying enough, but these were multiplied many fold when It was decided that a fleet of 24 seaplanes, each carrying a crew of four men, were to make the flight in formation. In addition to the work done In Italy In preparing and testing the physical equipment for the flight, it was necessary to organ ize facilities for servicing, main tenance, repairs, meteorological data, and not the least, for tak ing care of the physical wants of the 9# members of the expedi tion. One interesting angle of the field organization which has to do directly with American en terprise was the problem of ar ranging for supplies of a suit able fuel. Unlike some other na tions, Italy has no petroleum production and hence must go abroad for the necessary fuel supplies. Before deciding on any particular brand of fuel, a series of severe tests, running over a period of some months, were un dertaken, using the specially built Isotta Fraschini engines which power the large twin-engined Savoia Marchettl seaplanes select ed for the flight. An American fuel, Stanavo Aviation Gasoline, was the one finally chosen, not only because of Its satisfactory performance, but also because It is marketed by an organization with distribution facilities to take care ol servicing the fleet of sea planes at the remote points in Iceland. Greenland and Labrador along the route of the flight. As soon as the official fuel for the flight yras decided upon, the Stanavo Specification Board, through its headquarters in New York, took immediate steps to or ganize and coordinate all neces sary arrangements for adequately servicing the Squadron at each . BOIt of call. - Tha plans of -the Air Ministry allowed a maximum | time of six hours ior refueling , the entire fleet at each point ? , little enough in view of the un certain factors such as weather, wind, and tide involved in the safe mooring of each seaplane, i Special anchors, buoys, mooring r lines, emergency repair material and tools had to be provided, and .transportation of supplies from shore to seaplane arranged for, as well as precautionary meas ures to avoid all possibility of static electricity and fire hazard in handling the inflammatory supplies. . . All this involved no great dif ficulty at the first stops to be made at Amsterdam and London erry, beyond providing for addi tional servicing equipment. At the next three stops on the itin erary, however ? In Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador ? more unusual preparations were called for. The servicing facilities In these isolated places were of the most antiquated type, and it was necessary t* arrange to ship to each point. In addition to the actual supplies, all the equipment required for handling the fuel and servicing the fleet of sea planes, Including fire extinguish ing apparatus. The volume of this material when packed far exceeded the capacity of tho or dinary freightors operating from Denmark to Iceland and Green land, and several small sailing vessels of the north Atlantic fish ing fleets were engaged to com plete the transportation of sup lines iu meoe puiuio. Similar conditions prevailed in Labrador. The problem of laying dawn supplies there was further complicated by the fact that the Squadron would arrive at Cart wright before the- usual opening date of navigation, which would in all probability be even later this year due to tha? heavy drifts of shore Ice resulting from an unusually severe winter season. Food and housing accommoda tions also had to be arranged for, as the winter's supply of food at Cartwrlght would only sufflce for the native population until the arrival of the spring supply steamers. In order to assure that all the necessary materials would be on hand when the fliers reached this point. It was found necessary to charter one of the 'Hudson Bay Company's ice breakers, the 88 SENEF, to car ry the supplies from St. John's. Newfoundland, to Cartwrlght. Following the SENEF through the channel It will open In the lee will be one of the boats of the Italian ground organisation, carrying a group of metoorolo glsts, wireless operators, mechan ics, and others who will meet the Squadron at Cartwrlght. At Shed lac Bay arrangements have been made for a shore line base establishment, from which fuel will be moved to the sea planes at ancorage In small boats. Speed boats equipped with fire fighting apparatus will cruise the bay on constant dnty to keep the fire hasard at a minimum. The servicing of the Squadron at Montreal. Chicago, and New : York will be a comparatively simple matter. The ordinary fa cilities for handling such work at these points will of course be augmented by additional equip-; ment such aa fuel pomps, buoys, and mooring facilities, and the same extraordinary precautions will be taken to guard against the fire hazard In moving and handling the fuel. The Canadian Government has Collaborated with the Imperial Oil Company in completing the servicing arrangements in Can ada, and the V. S. Army, Navy and Department of Commerce are cooperating with the Standard Oil Companies of New Jersey and Indiana, and the Colonial Beacon OH Company, In their arrange ments to handle the servicing at Chicago and New York. The definite ronte has not yet been selected, for the return flight to Rose, Irat arrangements have already been made to la y down supplies at the nrioM points aow under consideration. A tentative supply base (or the eastward flight haa been estab lished at Shoal's Harbor, New foundland. a special meteorolo gical station will be aet op in the vicinity of St. John's, through which constant radio communica tion will be maintained with the home base at Orbetello, aa well as with each unit of the Squad ron during the entire operation. All In all, the Intensive and elaborate servicing arrangement* made for this ambitious flight constitute what Is probably the greatest piece of ground organi zation ever conceived and carried through by a commercial concern.
